Luka Doncic will miss Saturday night's game due to an injury. The Slovenian wunderkind was declared out due to a right quadricep strain. Maxi Kleber (right foot soreness) and Josh Green (right elbow sprain) will miss the match as well.

After a one-point loss against the Milwaukee Bucks Friday night, Luka admitted feeling pain in his quad muscle.

This season, Doncic has been known for having one of the highest usage percentages in the entire league. Per Cleaning the Glass, the superstar guard is third in the league in usage rate, just behind Devin Booker and Giannis Antetokoumpo, all three with a 100th percentile rating.

It will be the second game Doncic will miss this season. The first time Luka was inactive was on November 16th against the Houston Rockets.
